I'm running my first Marathon! I'm heading back to Chicago to run the 2023 Bank of America Marathon to support Mission of Our Lady of the Angels! 

Mission of Our Lady of the Angels exists to provide material and spiritual support to W. Humboldt Park, Chicago- one of the most challenged neighborhoods in the US. The Mission feeds about 3000 families a month, provides additional material and pastoral support to families, youth, and senior citizens, and, most importantly, brings the love of Christ to a neighborhood desperately in need of hope. More info about the Mission at www.missionola.com.

Funds raised from Team OLA 2023 will be used to:

(1) Help the Mission expand its food pantry + other material distributions

• Mission of Our Lady of the Angels currently serves about 3000 families a month- and growing!
• Help the Mission continue to expand and improve this outreach. 

(2) Help the Mission successfully start using its new outreach center!

• 2023 will be the first full year of use of their new outreach center
• They will be hosting large retreats for service groups and parishes for the first time as well as expanding out social services to their neighbors in W. Humboldt Park. 

The Mission is a 501(c)(3) and relies entirely on the donations of private donors.
